The staff and operations at The Ardea are excellent, making life smoother for residents. Safety measures are high. Cleanliness is standard -- glass doors and windows, and common areas are regularly maintained with better quality than other buildings. The gym is excellent, well-equipped and clean. Each floor has few residents who share a clean trash room on their own floor, negating the need to haul one's recyclables and trash far away from the unit. The neighborhood is a walker's heaven. The... units were designed to be condos; therefore, storage and finishes are generally superior. The Ardea is a cut above other rental buildings, and it is a pleasure to live here. Read More

Apartment Review: The Ardea Apartments

I lived at The Ardea Apartments for 18 months, and it exceeded my expectations!

Leasing Office Staff: 5/5
From my first visit, the leasing office staff greeted me with warmth and professionalism. They went above and beyond to answer my questions and make me feel comfortable. Special shoutout to Metha, Danielle, Anna, Logan, and the Office Manager for guiding me through the amenities and sharing helpful local tips.

Maintenance: 5/5
The maintenance team... was incredible! Their quick response time and efficiency left me confident that any concerns would be addressed promptly. Shoutout to Liam and Roy for their outstanding service!

Concierge: 5/5
The concierge service elevated my living experience. Whether receiving packages or just chatting, the team was always friendly and helpful. They made me feel valued, and I especially miss Jacob and Monie at the front desk!

Apartment Amenities: 5/5
The amenities at The Ardea were top-notch! I loved unwinding in the lounge area, and the state-of-the-art fitness center made workouts a pleasure. The co-working space was a game-changer for remote work.

Community events were a highlight. I enjoyed Sunday baked goods and coffee in the lobby, plus happy hour gatherings in the community room that brought residents together. Yoga classes, flower arranging events, and other activities were fantastic ways to meet neighbors and foster community.

Building and Location: 5/5
The building was modern and well-maintained, with a chic aesthetic. Located in the heart of Southwest Waterfront near OHSU, Interstate, Elizabeth Caruthers Park, and the beautiful walking trail along the Willamette, I was steps away from fantastic restaurants and coffee shops. Public transport access made commuting a breeze.

In summary, living at The Ardea was an absolute pleasure. The supportive leasing team, swift maintenance, helpful concierge, fantastic amenities, prime location, and engaging community events made it feel like home. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a vibrant and welcoming living experience!

The Ardea has been my home for over 10 years. I absolutely love it here! However,
the largest and most important complaint I have is the ongoing problems using the Elevators. Of the three elevators, one is frequently reserved for moving, which leaves 2 for the residents. Of the two, one is consistently broken, which leaves one elevator for residents. Sometimes the wait is unacceptable, especially if you have an appointment. I wish that The Ardea could build another service elevator which... would have a permanent and positive impact regarding this situation. Read More

This area is very clean and well maintained. Haven’t seen any homeless encampments. There is a large number of dogs in this neighborhood and their owners are meticulous about picking up after them.
We are happy to have moved back into this neighborhood.

We love our new apartment, we lived here about 10 years ago and we loved it. Now our kids have all moved out of our 4 bedroom house, so we down sized this apartment.
The property has been vastly improved since we moved out. Super clean for a building of this age.
New management staff are also much improved. Ryan helped us with our application process and made it so easy.
We’re overjoyed with our view from the 22nd floor and with how affordable it is given that it’s a luxury apartment.
I have... already recommended them to another manager who I work with. Read More
